Across the Aisle is turning two. Help us celebrate our birthday by supporting another twelve monthly episodes of discussion about theatre and the arts in Melbourne. We are beyond thrilled about the audience that we have generated in our first two years: it's discerning, thoughtful, responsive and diverse. That's why we plan to continue going to the theatre and gabbing about it every month on our free podcast.

We'd also love to engage our audience in the making of our show through a choice menu of supporter rewards. Receive a private review, send us to a production of your choice or visit us in our Clifton Hill studio! Or else simply continue supporting and talking about our show. Thank you so much for your patronage. 

You will help keep us on air! Our first-birthday crowdfunding campaign gave us a much-needed boost and now, after two years of production, we continue to need your support. We believe we bring something unique to Melbourne arts criticism.

Across the Aisle is a polished, well made podcast and to do this takes a lot of time and care. We are proud of the quality of Across the Aisle and hope the reverence for the artists we cover shines through.

Base costs to publish the podcast are around $450 per year (this includes paying for our music licensing). Also we very rarely get comp tickets so as you can imagine the bills add up. This money will fund the 2017/2018 podcast and any money left over will help us pay our producer Ron and chip in for show tickets.

Thank you to all our dear listeners and the artists whose work we have critiqued thus far. It's been such an honour.

Maintaining a monthly podcast about theatre and the arts in Melbourne requires significant amounts of goodwill, generosity and love. With your support, we look forward to maintaining the quality of discussion that has sustained our project for its first two years. Thank you so much!
